Full Arch DS Signature™ Workflow - Practice to Lab

3D Imaging/Digital Impression | SCAN + EXAMINE

clinician logo

Take a CBCT scan of the patient with AXEOS

  1. The first scan will provide the patient bone situation
  2. Scan with the prosthesis in place that has dual scan markers
  3. Make the diagnosis

Scan:

Select patient in Sidexis 4 Software

Select Field of View and exposure mode on Axeos

Patient is positioned, and exposure started

Note for Full Arch

1. Scan patient wearing denture with radiopaque markers and a bite index to stabilize the denture and separate the jaws
2. Scan the denture alone (Dual Scan)

Examine:

CBCT Scan is automatically sent to Sidexis 4

Clinician examines images

Take a CBCT scan of the prosthesis with AXEOS

The second scan of the prosthesis with dual scan markers will provide mucosa information of the patient
For fully edentulous cases

Scan:

Start Connect Software and add/select Patient Data

Choose indication

Take an intraoral scan with Primescan (lower jaw, upper jaw and buccal bite registration)

Examine:

Check the scan data and discuss treatment plan with patient

3D Imaging/Digital Impression | SHARE

clinician logo

Provide the scan data

Export the CBCT scan (DICOM file) from Sidexis software and send it to the laboratory

Share: 3D Imaging - Axeos

Images are exported and share with lab through a HIPAA-compliant server (e.g., Dropbox)

Share: Digital Impressions - Primescan

Case upload will take place automatically

Choose lab and fill in order data

Final check of order data and order submission

Note: In case of the lab partner does not use DS CAD/CAM Lab software (InLab), they can access a digital Impression from Primescan via Inbox (web-based platform).

Digital Planning | PLAN

clinician logo

Import files to Simplant Pro

  1. CBCT scan (DICOM file)
  2. Dual scan of prosthesis (DICOM file)

Lab starts case preparation in Simplant Pro and opens the 3D imaging data for the patient, then matches the 3D imaging data of the prosthesis with the Dual Scan wizard in Simplant Pro.

Digital Planning | APPROVE

clinician logo

Plan the implant in Simplant Pro

  1. Add implants into the image according to bone situation and prosthetic outcome
  2. Add restorative components
  3. Create the surgical guide preview
  4. Get an approval from the dentist for your planning

Based on prosthetic set-up and available bone, lab plans implant sizes and positions as well as abutments and/or temporary cylinders

Plan is shared with Clinician via Simplant Viewer or screen sharing for Clinical Approval

Discuss immediate vs. delayed implant placement

If necessary, augmentation can be planned including measurement of regen material volumes

Digital Planning | ORDER

clinician logo

Order the surgical guide

  1. Upload files to orderdigitalsolutions.com and place the order
  2. Order the Simplant Core File in case you planned restorative components

Case upload will take place automatically after completing the "Request Simplant Guide" wizard in Simplant Pro.

Login to the Web Order pages, fill in case details, choose Simplant Guide or Simplant Guide File, add the Simplant Core File and submit order.

Fabricate:

Once planning is approved, lab finalizes design and orders:

Simplant Guide File and sleeves to print Simplant SAFE guide and Simplant Core File to design and mill temporary bridge out of DS Multilayer PMMA

clinician logo

Manufacture the temporary restoration

  1. Send design file of the temporary restoration from the lab software to your lab manufacturing software​

Once planning is approved, lab finalizes design and orders:

Simplant Guide File and sleeves to print Simplant SAFE guide and Simplant Core File to design and mill temporary bridge out of DS Multilayer PMMA

Guide + Provisional Manufacture | SHARE

clinician logo

Provide surgical guide and a temporary restoration kit

  1. Provide the surgical guide to the dentist
  2. Provide a digitally designed temporary restoration kit to the dentist:
  • Temporary restoration
  • Temporary components (Temp cylinder/MultiBase abutments, Screws)
  • Composite material / glue

Augmentation | EXTRACT

clinician logo

Extract tooth

Perform tooth extractions if needed

Extract:

Note: for Full Arch cases, extractions are performed AFTER implant placement to permit the use of a tooth-supported guide.

Augmentation | IMMEDIATE GRAFTING OR SOCKET PRESERVATION

clinician logo

Perform augmentation with OSSIX products

OSSIX

Immediate grafting:

After extraction and implant placement:

  • If gap between bone and implant is smaller than 2mm, use OSSIX Volumax scaffold
  • If gap is larger than 2mm, use OSSIX Bone with or without membrane. Choose between OSSIX Plus or OSSIX Volumax depending on the gingival phenotype.

Socket preservation:

After extraction, graft socket using OSSIX Bone

If more than one wall is missing, the use of OSSIX Plus over OSSIX Bone is recommended

Size of cube can be chosen during surgical planning

Implant Placement | PLACE

clinician logo

Place the implant with the Surgical Guide
